Three-Bedroom House with Hot Tub

About this property

The Balm sits on a hilltop in Newburgh, and the river view is the theme guests raise most, described from the sunken living room, the floating deck, and the primary bedroom's private deck. Several reviewers mention watching sunrise over the water or spotting deer crossing the yard from multiple rooms.

The hot tub is the second most mentioned feature, called a highlight for winter and summer stays alike, with several guests noting how clean and ready it always was. Close behind, guests praise the games: ping pong, karaoke, board games, and a music room kept kids and adults occupied through rainy days and long weekends.

The kitchen draws steady praise for being fully stocked, down to spices and cookware that guests say rival what they have at home. Several reviewers who cook mention this specifically, along with a dining table large enough for group meals and a grill used for outdoor cooking.

Host responsiveness is another recurring theme, with guests describing quick answers to questions and helpful local recommendations for Newburgh and Beacon. Several also mention a detailed house guide that made check-in and using the amenities straightforward.

A few reviewers note the quiet, private feel of the property despite being close to town, and several call out the wood burning fireplace in the living room as a cozy touch for cooler months. With three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and space for eight guests, the house works well for families, groups of friends, or a longer stay centered on relaxing by the fire pit and the river.
